I've heard many confusing answers to the parking with trailer dilemma at bluffers before 6 am. Has anyone figured it out with the app? Happy spring everyone!

Not an easy, but an amazing day on water. 12/19, 1 king ~15lb, 11 lakers. Spoons and flasher+fly on riggers and 100/150/200 WS over 20-40 fow.

Port D to the BAR.

Also caught a full rod + reel by Islander. Needs cleaning/TLC but usable.

We got into some kings today off the bar. I saw a lot of Canadian boats near the line. I am sure there were some kings caught by you guys today. The fish look great coming out of winter

Buy & Sell / Bert's Custom Tackle Rod Tree

« Last post by vmuravin on April 06, 2024, 01:29:14 pm »

I have 1x Bert's rod tree. The tree is new - has been sitting in the garage and collecting dust since last year when I had sold my previous boat.

Retails $379+tax.

Asking $300 obo.

Pick up in Kitchener/Waterloo or in Markham on Thursdays (407/404 area) and weekends at the boat ramps upon agreement.

I was down at Port Credit today. The  ramp and entire park is still closed and looks to me  like about 2 to 3 more months of landscape work left. I think it should be ready for July.

St. Catharines Marina on the east side of Port Weller has a decent ramp too, not sure of their hours or pricing though

Hi Guys
There is also the Queenston Ramp but I would say you need to be skilled and confident in your launching abilities.  I suspect there is not much tolerance for beginners down there.  The parking also "leaves something to be desired" if it is a busy day.
If you are local, I would go and look at it first before going there to launch.

Buy & Sell / Re: Looking for 16lb Torpedo weights

Search Extreme pancake downrigger weight on Amazon, best price I've ever come across especially if you have Prime (free delivery)
8-15 lb available. I have the 12lb for Lake O and they track great
I can get down to 100 ft with the 12lb without too much drift back behind the boat, I don't really go much deeper than that

Nice catches... Where do you guys launch from? Parking and launch fees? Thank you.

Port Dalhousie - SCGFA boat ramp - the best boat launch in the area. $15 launch, and guess what... a credit card tapping machine!
